Thepublication of ME SUN NE% SFAPETt commenced this day at 20 minutes nast Three o' Clock _ \ - rip e.• 6 zpro,„..v, ' 7, ( 1 fersed their guilt.' kVhateverforias may be violated, there fore, the expatriation is voluntary ; and it will be quite vo luntary, when NELSON and his friends get to Ber muda, (where Lord DURHAM has no power to keep them, and where the Governor has no power to keep them), whether they stay there or not. Lord DUR HAM banishes them to Bermuda, and sends them thither in a QUEEN'S ship, and when they have arrived and are put on shore, they will be at liberty to go whitherso2ver they please, except to Canada. What Lord DURHAM will do should they go thither, will be time enough to inquire when that event happens. In the mean time, the illegal ordinance, whether so designed or not, sets them at liberty, and keeps them out of Canada. If it be not legal, it seems very humane and very kind. When the laws were a protection to a defeated party, so that it should only be subject to certain penalties in. flitted in a certain way, and when, if ever they were over. stepped, it was always on the side of inflicting heavier penal. ties, or inflicting them, whether they were merited or not fiercely to decry every illegality, was a duty to justice and humanity. Or, if we consider the laws as a kind of b.lr gain entered into between rulers and their subjects, and in tended principally to restrain the somewhat wild-beast-like propensities of the former, and particularly their desire to trample on liberty, and crush all resistance by cruelty, then have we a good right to join Lord BROUGHAM and Lord ELLENBOROUGH and the Duke of WELLINGTON in de manding that Lord DURHAM should hold to the laws. But when he departs from them in behalf of humanity when they are not instruments to protect erring and weak subjects from fierce and ambitious rulers,but to punish them more severely than their demerits warrant ; when the laws are executed by party passions, and only serve to gratify party vengeance, then to act illegally may be to act justly and humanely, and that Lord DURHAM seems to have done. We have read Lord BROUGHAM'S speeches in former times with too much attention—we have now seen the law over-ruled and set aside in so many instances, greatly to the advantage of the community— for example, let us state that the whole Newspaper press exists in spite of the law, and it makes the proceedings cif both Houses known to the world, conferring great benefits on it, according to Lord BROUGHAM'S eloquent statement, in spite of the privileges of both Houses—that we cannot consider it any blame to Lord DURHAM to say merely that his ordinances are illegal. The Lords rejected last night the Commons' amendments to the Irish Municipal Bill, which relate to the franchise, and to placing the controul of the boundaries in the hands of the Lord Lieutenant. The Tories did not condescend to waste any words on the question of the franchise, consi dering probably that it was quite presumptuous in the Co mmons to differ from their Lordships on a question on which they had expressed a very decided opinion. Such conduct is meant to forward the cause of Toryism ; and it will un doubtedly recommend it to the Parsons. The spirit of the Peers will be the theme of their praise ; but the Parsons are not the people to be governed. They pay none of the taxes ; and the tax-payers, certainly in Ireland, and pro bably in England, will look on the conduct of the Peers very differently from the Parsons. To avow an hostility to popular rights, will not now promote the success of the Tories. The Tories have boasted amazingly during the last few months of their success. They everywhere defeated their opponents, and proclaimed aloud to the world that the community was Tory at heart, and would speedily be re stored to sound and healthy Toryism. They held nume rous feasts, and the songs of their triumph were heard throughout the land. They had beaten down the majority of the Whigs ; the tenants-at-will were all for them, the polls at all the County Elections were in their favour—the operatives at Liverpool and Manchester formed Tory Societies—and the Tories chuckled with delight at the approaching restoration of Toryism to high places, and to more than all its ancient powers. Dr. PHILL POTTS became more renowned than Dr. WHATELT, and O"SULLIvAN and M‘GuEn had routed for ever DENS and Jour; Tunis/. The Clergy grew so convinced of their utility, that they demanded additional revenues; and so convinced of their full restoration to ail the power they enjoyed in the da3s Of SACHEYEREL,OrintIIOSCOf thernost successful of the POPES, that they began to set themselves above the law. The meet ing at Birmingham, however much it may be depreciated by Tory writers, must have been to the Tories a most un pleasant revelation, for it demonstrates at least that the tendencies of the bulk of the people are the very reverse of Toryism. It is for us quite amusing to reflect on the manner in which the Tories hava proceeded. For the last six years they have struggled for supremacy in the Registration Courts. They have bullied and bribed till the poor tenants-at will have had no will of their own. By promises, never meant, to be kept they have cajoled the electors of towns. They have subscribed largely, and fought every scat in Parliament. The provocation to perjury has been one of their means. In Parliament they have resisted steadily and successfully every little attempt which has been made to extend the franchise. They have upheld the rate-pay ing Clauses, and have kicked out Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S Registration Bill. Not an atom of the Irish Church pro perty would they give up to the people, though they had no objection to bestow a large slice of it to Protestant (dial Tory landlcrds. Not a stone would they remove, as long as they could help it, of the Tory citadels in the Irish towns. They were resolved to maintain for ever the Irish Church in all its deformity. They have to a considerable extent succeeded. They have almost had their own way in Parliament. Lord STANLEY has increased in insolence. Sir JAMES GRAHAM does not conceal his arrogant hopes, even though lie was driven to take Sir JOHN OWEN'S cadship ; and " the subtlest of living men," as Sir ROBERT PEEL has been called, unable to hide his satisfaction, has boasted aloud that " the Ministers can do nothing without my immission." AlAs! for the wisdom o these boasters! Alas ! for the sagacity of Tory Statesmen ! Alas! for their political foresight ! While they have been hugging themselves with the rapid spread of Toryism, because it has rnade a little be: , ,d in the House 'f Commons, and with the renovation of . the Church to all its pristine supremacy —because the Bishops are yet-suffered to sit in Parliament—the growth of radicali.,m, of doniccruey, and of knowledge amongst the people has been unexampled ; and if the Tories were to get possession . of office to-morrow, they would find republicanism wider spread in the country, and the aristocracy less able to oppose it, than at any pre vious period of our history. While these poor Tories have been pluming themselves on their success in the Registra tion Courts, on stopping all attempts to extend the fran chise, the bulk of the people, laughing to scorn the 10/. boundary and the proscription of six years' standing, de mand Universal Suffrage and Annual Parliaments. The meeting at Birmingham must have fallen, we think, like an avalanche on the merry jugglers of the Tory camp. If, indeed, they bad show❑ themselves considerate in those six years—if they bad not stickled for those monstrous and insulting abuses—the Irish Church and the Corn Laws — and had not shown themsel✓es jealous of every little exten sion of the popular franchise—if they had not endeavoured to get back by cunning and trick the power which force had compelled them to resign, what might have happened in their favour before now, it is impossible to say ; but they would not have been regarded as the most determined ene mies of that great party of which the meeting at Birming ham has made the existence known even to the Tories. On the bringing up of tire Report of the Poor-law Corn mittee last night, in the House of Commons, Mr. FIELD EN, contrary to all the rules of fair play, as well as to the forms of Parliament, inale an attempt—a bungling one, we admit, but still an attempt—to prejudice the question reported on, by carping at certain parts of the Report. This Hon. Gentleman was well aware that until the Report is printed not a soul, except the Members of the:Committee, can know what it really contains ; and he thought, no doubt, that a good opportunity, was thus afforded to mis represent the evidence. It luckily happened that his ability was not equal to his inclination ; for, after all his mumbling and I , lundering, the gravamen of his charge seems to have ::mounted to this, that, the Committee would not consent to examine all the persons who had petitioned against the Poor-law Amendment Act—not, certainly, a large number, considering the clamour raised by the com bined energies of faction and ignorance, but still too large to be examined by an honest Committee. When this rigmarole effusion had been stopped by the SPEMLEI, altogether irregular, Mr. P. ScßorE, the Chairman of the WITH WHICH 9 77: 17 " TRITE S U is Now INCORPORATED. LONDON : WEDNESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 8, 1838. A very interesting debate again took place on Lord DURHAM'S ordinances, in the House of Lords ; and we were glad to see Lord BROUGHAM come forth with one of those great bursts of eloquence in favour of the general principles of liberty, which, before he was Lord Chan cellor, had made him the first Commoner of the empire. Even the Chronicle praises Lord BROUGHAM'S eloquent declamation on the beneficial effects of publicity in a Constitution a l Government, and must be constrained to admit that Lord BitouGnAm has 103 t none of the vast power which for a long period has placed him in the highest rank of our orators. Last night, too, the Noble Lord compelled Lord MELBOURNE and Lord GLENELG to admit that the part of Lord Duattam's ordinances which banished the Cana dians to Bermuda was illegal ; and he is hereafter to bring the whole subject of the legality of those ordinances before the Peers. There seemed a general disposition amongst their Lordships to lay down rules for Lord DURHAM'S conduct, and, as the Duke of WELLINGTON said, to " set him right." It appears that the Noble Lord has gone out of all legal bounds, and there is some apprehen sion amongst the Lords lest he should do good in spite of the law. The Herald of this morning says, " that pro spects are rather improving in the Canadas, at least so far as speculation and prophecy are .concerned. The amnesty proclaimed by Lord DURHAM los grown in favour even with the party who at first denounced it. His measure for the extinction of the feudal system. in the provinces, h :s also given satisfaction." . Now that is the testimony of a Journal which has been unceasing in its railing against Lord DURHAM, who really is ejecting, therefore, wheth"r legally or illegally is not of much importance, the complete pacification of the colony. We apprehend, however, that tven the most illegal part of the ordinance, that relating to Bermuda, will heir a somewhat more favourable construction than was given to it tn the House of Lords. In his . dispatch, Lord DURHAM says, that tl.7e people who are to 1 to transported have con- 0 THE SUN, LONDON, IVEDNESDAY, AUGUST 8, 1838. Committee, stated that he would leave the Report to speak for itself, not thinking it worth while to say more in answer to the attack of the Hon. Member for Oldham, than that the Committee had allowed him all but a boundless latitude in bringing forward his evidence, but that it was so unne cessary and irrelevant, that they were obliged to reject a great part of it. In another part of The Sun will be found extracts from American Papers received to the 20th ult. inclusive, by the packet ship 0/Theirs, which arrived yesterday at Liverpool. They are, commercially speaking, of considerable importance. The French Government has at last proceeded to mand the expulsion of Prince Louts NAPOLEON BONA PARTE from the Swiss territory. We had previously been informed that such a step was contemplated, and that it v,ould be actually taken, in the event of the Swiss authori ties refusing to expel the PRINCE of their own accord ; but we confess that we regarded the intelligence as un founded. We thought it likely enough that such a threat might be hazarded by the Duke de MONTEBELLO, but we refused to give credit to the report of its embodying the deliberate determination of the King of the FaENcit. 'We remembered that in the little cantons of Switzerland Louts PHILIPPE and his sister, the Princess ADELAIDE, found a safe asylum from the revolutionary guillotine, and the re membrance rendered a belief in the King of the F.RENcll's determination to violate the sanctuary of the once fugitive members of the House of Orleans impossible. Besides on the part of the French Government, such a proceed ing seemed to us to be constituting an individual an object of terror, whose pretensions events had shown to be ridicu lous. It now, however, appears that we had mistaken the character of the KING, and given the French Cabinet cre dit for a degree of political sagacity which it is very clear it does not possess. What will be the immediate re sult of the following diplomatic note, a few days at the utmost will determine; but its ulterior consequences may yet seriously affect the interest of the Orleans dynasty. The Duke de NIONTEBELLO, in his note, invokes the law of nations ; we, too, shall examine its provisions upon the subject, when the decision of the Council of Lucerne shall have reached us : Lt'cuuNtt, Ave. 3.—The President of the Diet communicated to-day to that Assembly the subjoined note, which he had received from the Ambassador of France : "To their Excellencies the Avoyer and Members of the Council of State of the Canton of Lucerne, constituting the Federal Directory. "The undersigned, Ambassador of his Majesty the King of the French to the Helvetic Confederation, has been instructed by his Government to address the following communication to their Excellencies the Avoyer and Members of the Council of State of the Canton of Lucerne, con stituting the Federal Directory. "After the events of Strasburg, and the generous act of clemency of which Louis Napoleon Bonaparte was the object, the King of the French could not expect that a friendly country like Switzerland, with which the former relations of good neighbourhood were recently so happily posed upon him by gratitude, imposed re stored, would suffer Louis Bona p arte to return to its territor y , and there, dareto in r despite ene his s f c a r l i l m t i h n e a l obligations , and openly avow insane preten sions, the folly of which could no longer be pleaded in their justifica tion since the attempt of Strasburg. It is a notorious fact that Are. nenberg (the residence of Louis Bonaparte) is the centre of ma chination, which the King's Government has a right, and is in duty bound, to prohibit, so near its frontier. It is vain for Louis Bonaparte to deny it. The writings which he has caused to be published both in Germany and France, the pamphlet lately con demned by the Court of Peers, in writing and distributing which it has been proved that he concurred, clearly indicate that his return from America had not only for its object to pay the last duties to a dying mo ther, but also to resume his projects and put forward pretensions which it is now evident he never renounced. Switzerland is too loyal and too faithful an ally of France to permit that Louis Bonaparte call him self at the same time one of its citizens, and the Pretender to the Throne of France; that lie styles himself a Frenchman, whenever he conceives the hope of disturbing the peace of his country for the sake of his projects; and a citizen of Thurgau, when the Government of his country wishes to prevent the repetition of his criminal attempts. " It is consequently with the most entire confidence that the under signed addresses, in the name of his Government, to their Excellencies the Avoyer and Members of the Council of State of the Canton of Lucerne, constituting the Federal Directory (with a request to lay it before the supreme Diet), a formal demand that Louis Napoleon Bona parte be compelled to leave the Helvetic territory. " The undersigned deems it superfluous to remind their Excellencies of the law of nations regulating such matters. H e will merely observe, in concluding, and in compliance with the orders he has received, that France would have preferred being indebted to the spontaneous resolu tion, and to a feeling of amity on the part of her faithful ally, for a measure she owes it to herself to require, and which Switzerland, she is sure, will not hesitate to adopt. " The undersigned avails himself of this opportunity to renew to their Excellencies the Avoyer and Members of the Council of State of the canton of Lucerne, constituting the Federal Directory, the assurances of his high consideration The Duke de MONTEBELLO. •' Lucerne, Aug. 1, 1638." The President fixed the discussion of this note by the Diet for Mon day, the 6th inst. - The Paris Papers of Monday, announce the prosecution and conviction of no fewer than four Liberal Provincial Journals during the last week, for copying the article for which the Temps was prosecuted, relative to the proceed ings at a secret sitting of the Chamber of Peers. The real crime of these Journals is not the publication of the article in the Temps, but their zeal in support of principles, which the KING would openly exterminate, did he not dread that the embers of another revolution are still slumbering in the ashes of Republican France. The French naval force in the Gulf of Mexico, accord ing to the Moniteur, consists of two frigates of 60 guns, four brigs of 20, one of 18, and four of 10. A. man-of-war, of 82 guns, preparing to sail from Toulon, will complete an armament, supposed to be adequate to the maintaining a strict blockade in the Guif. Letters from Constantinople, of the 16th ult., throw discredit upon the statement that there no longer existed any danger of hostilities between the SULTAN and the Viceroy of EGYPT, On the contrary, the a spect of affairs in that quarter is represented as unusually gloomy. The following are extracts from the journals :- The Duke de Palrnella, A m b assa d o r Extraordinary o f Portu g al to the Court of London, and the Duchess of Palmella arrived at Paris yesterday, for the celebration of the marriage of their daughter with a rich Portu guese gentleman, after which they will set out for Lisbon.

Count Lowenhielm,:the Swedish Ambassador at the Court of France, has suddenly returned from London, where he has been to attend the Coronation of the (Neer. lie had yesterday an audi ence of the King, Who, after inquiry respecting the health of t he Kin g of Sweden, is said to have conversed with him a long time about the expedition of French rod forrign learned racia to the North Cape, with the geography of which be is penctially well acquainted. The King is said to have de sired him to thank the King of Sweden for the manner in whirls he re_ ce.,d the Fre, eh gentlemen who have devoted themselves to those noble and fatiguing labours in count' ies so little known. It seems the Cross of Honour will be given to several illustrious Swedes who make part of the scientific expedition, and that the French will receive Orders of Knighthood of Sweden and Norway -.Le Commerce. The Garde National of Marseilles contains accounts of the 17th ult. from Alexandria, representing the state of affairs there as peaceable and tranquil, though it is added that the Viceroy has not altogether aban doned his ambitious designs. The ships of war which had sailed for the isle of Candia had returned, by Mehemet Ali's orders, to join the rest of the fleet, the last vessel of which quitted the port of Alexandria on the morning of the 17th. The entire squadron, oonsisting of nine ships of the line of 100 or 120 guns, five frigates, five corvettes, six brigs, and a large steamer, in all 25 sail, was to proceed to the coasts of Syria, its g first w n e ultimate destination being Tripoli.

According to accounts of the 12th from Cairo, that city was tranquil, though some fresh incendiary attempts had been made there, particularly one directed against the Custom House, but haPpilY without any serious result. A number of the suspected incendiaries had been taken into custody. The Austian frigate In Guerriere arrived at Toulon on the 2d inst., with the Archduke Frederick, who was received with the honours due to his rank. A large cotton and woollen cloth factory at Elbeauf was burnt to the ground on the 4th instant. The loss was estimated at a million francs.

They state as the ground of the quarrel between ESPARTERO and the Ministry that the latter in their wisdom thought proper to order the C o mmander-in-Chief not to attack Estella before receiving a reinforcement of 10,000 men from General ORAA. We are not surprised that ESPAR TERO should have felt insulted by such an order. To re commend delay to such a military tortoise was to pronounce the severest satire upon his whole career as General-in- Chief of her Majesty's armies. CHANCERY-COURT.-(THIS DAY.) ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. DUPREE. The arguments in this case which were commenced yesterday, were re. sinned today. The case came before the Court upon petition praying a reference to the Master to determine whether it would be right that an application should be made to Parliament for an Act to regulate the Free Grammar School at Berkhampstead. The Charity in question was founded by Henry the Bth., far the instruction of youth in grammar only. That Charity had entirely fell into disuse, as, for many years, there had been only two or three, and sometimes, no boys at all in the school. The income of the Charity was increasing every day, and the petitioners, therefore, considered that a new and more enlarged system of education should be adopted. The arguments were proceeding when our Reporter left. VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) RANGER V. TAE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY COMPANY The case came before the Court upon motion, and also upon a de murrer put in by the defendants to the bill of the plaintiff. From the statements of Mr. Knight Bruce, with whom was Mr. Jacob and Mr. Stevens, it appeared that the plaintiff, who was a large contractor with the Great Western Railway Company, had filed his bill against: them to obtain relief from certain contracts he had entered into with the Company, on the ground that the course pursued by the Company was wholly unjustifiable, they having, as they alleged, in consequence of the non-performance of the contract, seized the whole of the plant, works, and materials of the plaintiff: To the bill of the plaintiff the defen dants had put in a demurrer for multifariousness and want of equity. Mr. Knight Bruce, Mr. Jacob, and Mr. Stevens. were heard in sup. port of the demurrer, and Mr. Sergeant WILDLY to-day addressed the Court on behalf of the plaintiff: The Learned Counsel had not concluded when we left. HOP INTELLIGENCE.-WORCESTER, AUG. 1. —We have this week had an opportunity of conversing with a gentleman who had made a tour through a great part of this district; and he as sures us that the late cold weather has decided the question as to whether we shall have hops or not. There ca❑ be but few, and the duty for the district is estimated at about 6,0001. Some grounds a short time ago were looking more healthy, and held out a prospect of recovery; these, if there be any difference in appearance, are now looking worse than those which at that time held out no prospect whatever. In our market on Saturday there was but little business ; but prices were from 2s. to 3s. in advance upon our last week's quotation. Weighed 50 pockets.— Worcester Journal. TILE BRITISH ASSOCIATION.—The British Association, which is appointed to assemble at Newcastle on Monday, the ‘2oth of August, bids fair to be a meeting of great interest, and to be more numerously attended than any former meeting of that body. A room, which will hold 4,000 persons, is now fitting up for the evening meetings, and a dining-room that will accommodate 900. Already 1,000 local members are enrolled, which exceeds by above 300 either of the two last meetings at Bristol and Liverpool, and more than 2,5001. has been obtained by local subscriptions. One thousand ladies' tickets are to be issued, and they will be admitted to two of the sec tions. There is to be an exhibition of models, philosophical instru ments, and products of national industry, which will consist of two parts :—Specimens connected with the arts and the development of national industry. 1. Local.—Articles manufactured in the district, showing, the nature of the prcducts of local industry, the present state of the manufactures, specimens illustrating the improvements or progress of the several branches. 2.

HORRIBLE ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.—At Castle wellan, a few days ago, a case of suicide was attempted, accompanied with circumstances of rather a horrible description. Charles Flood, who, three or four years back, came from Mourne, had settled in the town as a servant, but, as his character was bad, he subsequently worked wherever he could. Having gone to the wood north-east of the town, provided with an old hacked razor, he mangled his throat in a shocking manner, without, however, the attempt being fatal. A short time after doing so he was discovered by two worsen, whom he cursed when he saw, and, bloody as he was, chased with stones. He then ran to one of Mr. Murland's mill-dams, contiguous, and threw himself in. From this he was immediately rescued, and conveyed to the town, but so great was the horror in the minds of the people, no person was willing to admit him into his house. In consequence of this, he was carried into the market house, an individual procured to take care of him dur ing the night, and, after a subscription from a few respectable people in town, he was sent off next clay to the Infirmary at Downpatrick. There can be no satisfactory reason assigned for his resorting to this action. The opinion of those who saw him was, that he had been drunk ; that even when he was in the act of being carried up, after he had been discovered, he was heard making some attempts to sing. On being asked, however, on the following day, by the person who drove the car conveying him to Downpatrick, why he attempted suicide, he replied that leis mother was dead, and whatever means of living he pre. vicinity had were gone.-73elfast News Letter. ENGLISH OPERA HOUSE.--A new melodrama, entitled the Emigrant's Daughter•—a Tale of the Neutral Ground, was produced last night at this theatre. It is based upon an incident, w he. they real or imaginary does not appear, which I: supposed to have oc curred in the great struggle for American independence, and, in part, bears close resemblance to the case of the ❑nfortunate Major Andre, from which, we doubt not, it is in reality borrowed. The catastrophe, however, is less sanguinary, and has doubtless been altered fur stage effect. It is but an indifferent piece, anti therefore we will not enter into any lengthened description of the plot. Walter and Charles Ra ger (Baker and Brindal) are cousins, and officers in the British service The life of the latter has been saved by De Leslie (Halford), a French emigrant, to whose daughter Caroline (Miss L. Melville) he pays the most assiduous attentions, and for which, as he avows they are directed with no ultimate object, Walter severely catechises him. They part in anger, Walter to resume his military duties, and Charles to visit his enamorato on " the neutral ground," whither he is watched by Diedrike Kidd (Arian), a Dutch trooper, who, with his banditti (" skinners," as they are called) apprehends him, and is about to inflict upon him, and also De Leslie, the summary punishment of death—from which impending fate they are happily rescued by the timely arrival of the King's troops led by Walter, at which Caroline, who, meanwhile, had gone most orthodoxly stark-staring-mad" in white muslin," —suddenly recovers her " wits," and the piece, somewhat abruptly, though happily, ends in the reconciliation of " the cousins," &c., and the " historical" laughter of the lucky Charles. The per formers, abating that some were not quite so perfect as they might have been, did their utmost for the success of the piece. Compton supplied the comic, whilst Baker, Brindall, and M'lan, did their utmost for their respective characters, and we must congratulate Miss L. Melville on the animation which she imparted to this, above all parts that we have, as yet, seen her in. There was a very full house. IRELAND.—The Irish papers received to-day con tain but little intelligence of interest. We learn, with some disgust, from our private correspondent at Dublin, that the crusade against the liberty of the press anti the free expression of public opinion in this country is going bravely on. The Tuani Herald, one of the eldest and most useful papers in the pros ince of Connaught, has just had a verdict of 501. damages and fid. costs given against it for some observations upon the conduct of a magistrate, written at a time when two men were lying dead in the town, having been shot by the police under his command. In reference to the recent Orange outrage he remarks :—" It will pro. bably be in the recollection of your readers, that the Catholic chapel of Tartarahan was wrecked some few weeks ago by some unknown parties, and that the verazious ..tandard insisted, upon the authority of some document, purporting to be the resolutions of certain Masters of Orange Lodges, that the outrage was not committed by Orangemen! Never. theless, at the Armagh Assizes two men, named George and Edward Henderson, were indicted, tried, and found guilty of this offence; and these men are known Orangemen ! Further Orange pranks have been latterly played off in the north. The Monaghan Grand Jury having refused (for reasons best known te themselves) to find bills against the Orangemen, who were arrested by a stipendiary Magistrate for walking in procession on the Ist of July, they (the Orangemen) assembled in large numbers in the neighbourhood of the assize town, where the Judges were sitting, and lighted a bonfire, played military music, fired shots, yelled in a fearful manner, and disturbed the public peace by vas rious other outrageous deinuearations of triumph. So much for the peaceably disposed Orangemen of Ulster!" MANSLAUGHTER.—Last evening an adjourned inquest was held at the London Hospital, before Mr. Baker, the Co. roller, on the remains of James Ginns, aged 76 years. From the evi dence of a number of witnesses it appeared that, on the 20th of June last, the deceased was at the Crooked Billet public-house, at Walt hare stow, Essex, taking a pint of beer, when a ruffianly fellow, named William Law, without any provocation, struck him two or three vio lent blows, and afterwards tripped him up, and fractured the hone of his left thigh. The poor man was removed to the Hospital, where he lingered until the sth kist., when he died from the effect of the inju ries. An inspector of the Walthamstow police deposed that, on appre hending Law, he said that he had frequently been in prison, but he hoped that this job would transport him. The Jury, without hesita tion, returned a verdict of Manslaughter against Law, who has been in custody since the commission of the outrage, and the Coroner made out a warrant:for his commitment to Newgate for trial. SUDDEN DEATHS.—An inquest was held last night, in St. Martin's, on the body of a glass.cutter named Carr, who fell down in a fit in Pantos-street and instantly expired, cm leaving the Hay. market Theatre, on Monday night. The deceased had been drinking rather freely in the course of the day. Verdict—" Died by the visitation of God." Another inquest was held, at the same time and place, on the body of John Wilson, late of Rupert-street, Soho, who expired imme. diately on entering the shop of Mr. Hayes, of St. Martin's.lane, whither he had gone to be cupped, having been troubled by an overflow of blood to the head for several days previously. The inquiry in this case was adjourned in order that a post mortem examination might take place. ACCIDENT BY FlRE.—Yesterday morning, be tween eight and nine o'clock, as a respectable married woman, named Martin, living in William-street, Pentonville, was preparing the family breakfast, her clothes accidentally caught fire, and before the flames could be extinguished she was burned in so dreadful a manner that it was necessary to remove her immediately to the University College Hospital. Mr. Bannerman, M.P., in a letter to Provost Milne of Aberdeen, says, " Our Speaker is going on a tour to Invereshire, and is determined to see Aberdeen, where he has not been for forty years." In the same letter, Mr. Bannerman also notices the anxiety expressed by her Majesty to visit Ireland and Scotland. and says there is a probabi. lity of her being in Edinburgh next year. —Abet deen Herald. IV' AIDST ON E.—HoPs.—The heavy showers of last week have tended to increase the mould, and the blues, although fast coming in burr, bear an unfavourable appearance. IniTicehurst and the neighbouring parishes the hops have been much battered by the late gales, and come but slowly id burr. But rarely a branch of hops is to oe found; but there is no mould worth mentioning. THE BLYTON MURDER.---The neighbourhood of Blyton has been in a state of excitement during the week in conse quence of the various reports which have been in citculation. The child has been disinterred, and a number of gentlemen and magistrates have been inspecting the fields and lanes connected with this shocking affair,but all is kept in the most profound secrecy. Report slys that the prisoner Bell has been re.apprehended in consequence of something he said to the man who had him in custody during the time the coroner's inquest was held at Blyton. He underwent a final examination at Kir ton on Saturday, and is fully committed to Lincoln to take his trial at the next March Assizes,—Lincoln Gazette. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.-(THIS DAY.)

MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS CITY (THIS DAY), TWELVE O'CLOCK. Launceston Papet s to the 2d of March have been received ; they are entirely void of interest ; old dates. The accounts from Manchester state that there was a very active de mand for yarn yesterday, and a considerable extent of business was done at the full prices of the preceding week. Some of the spinners were de. mending a slight advance, which was not obtained. In goods there was no material change from the preceding Tuesday. THE FUNDS. Yesterday we had numerous arrivals, but this morning we are de. fieient of them. Only one foreign mail (French), with a few ship letters of old dates. Consequently, to the present hour, there prevails a great dearth of news in the City.

The boy fell to the earth in seeming agony. On seeing this the gentlemen hastened to his assistance ; and on raising him they discovered that one eye was completely forced from the socket, and hanging on the cheek, that his face was dreadfully lacerated, and the other eye so much injured that I o all appearance blindness will be the poor boy's lot for the remainder cf his days, By the kind attention of the spectators and the assistance cf two of the police brigade he was conveyed to St. George's Hospital.
